I decided to teach myself how to use GIMP. I downloaded 2.8 and started
with the first beginner tutorial, GIMPLite Quickies, on gimp.org. This
tutorial is so out of date it is unusable. "After completeing the click
and drag motion, a little "Crop & Resize Information Dialog" (shown above
also) pops up". Ummm, no. It doesn't. Nor could I find this dialog
searching through the numerous menus.

The copyright notice at the top of the GIMPLite Quickies tutorial webpage (
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Lite_Quickies/) says 2004. Is it really EIGHT
years old? For God's sake update your tutorials or remove them from the
site so people don't waste their time.
Heading to google to search for up-to-date tutorials.
